The week

Why this week

A couple of nicer meals, a couple of cheap ones, nothing that makes you wince at checkout.

Two people is the sweet spot. Most things get used up, and leftovers make lunch.

Every meal comes in under 30 grams of net carbs per serving. Rice, pasta and potatoes are out; greens, eggs, fish and meat are in. It costs a bit more per serving, which the budget already accounts for.

The quickest meal is Tuna Caesar yogurt plate at 12 minutes and the slowest is Balsamic herb lamb chops at 300. Across the week you get 6 different main proteins, around 35g of protein per serving, 14 meals in 30 minutes or under, and 3 that double up well if you want to cook once and eat twice.
